    Wyoming SCORP Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2014 - 2019 Wyoming Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2014-2019 The 2014-2019 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan was prepared by the Planning and Grants Section within Wyoming’s Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, Division of State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails. Updates to the trails chapter were completed by the Trails Section within the Division of State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department provided the wetlands chapter. The preparation of this plan was financed through a planning grant from the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, under the provision of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (Public Law 88-578, as amended).

  • Chapter 3 – Community Profile
    Chapter 3: COMMUNITY PROFILE The Physical Environment, Socio-Economics and History of Fremont County Natural and technological hazards impact citizens, property, the environment and the economy of Fremont County. These hazards expose Fremont County residents, businesses and industries to financial and emotional costs. The risk associated with hazards increases as more people move into areas. This creates a need to develop strategies to reduce risk and loss of lives and property. Identifying risks posed by these hazards, and developing strategies to reduce the impact of a hazard event can assist in protecting life and property of citizens and communities. Physical / Environment Geology Much of Fremont County is made up of the 8,500 square mile Wind River Basin. This basin is typical of other large sedimentary and structural basins in the Rocky Mountain West. These basins were formed during the Laramide Orogeny from 135 to 38 million years ago. Broad belts of folded and faulted mountain ranges surround the basin. These ranges include the Wind River Range on the west, the Washakie Range and Owl Creeks and southern Big Horn Mountains on the north, the Casper Arch on the east, and the Granite Mountains on the south. The center of the basin is occupied by relatively un-deformed rocks of more recent age. Formations of every geologic age exist in Fremont County. These create an environment of enormous geologic complexity and diversity. The geology of Fremont County gives us our topography, mineral resources, many natural hazards and contributes enormously to our cultural heritage. Topography Fremont County is characterized by dramatic elevation changes.

  • Bighorn River Basin, Wyoming
    Environmental and Recreational Water Use Analysis for the Wind – Bighorn River Basin, Wyoming Wind – Bighorn River Basin Plan Update Prepared for: Wyoming Water Development Commission 6920 Yellowstone Rd Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009 Prepared by: Western EcoSystems Technology, Inc. 415 W. 17th St., Suite 200 Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001 September 7, 2017 Draft Pre-Decisional Document - Privileged and Confidential - Not For Distribution Wind – Bighorn River Basin Plan Update EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2010, the Wyoming Water Development Commission (WWDC) requested a study to develop more robust and consistent methods for defining environmental and recreational (E&R) water uses for the River Basin Planning program. The study outlined that recreational and environmental uses needed to be identified and mapped, in a way that would assess their interactions with traditional water uses throughout the state of Wyoming. Harvey Economics completed the study in 2012, with a report and handbook being produced to identify a consistent viewpoint and accounting process for E&R water demands and to help guide river basin planning efforts in moving forward. The methods developed in the handbook were implemented on the Wind-Bighorn River Basin (Basin), and the results of the Basin plan update are provided in this report. In addition to the handbook guidelines, Western Ecosystems Technology, Inc. coordinated with the WWDC to further the analysis through the development of three models: 1) protection, 2) environmental, and 3) recreation. The Basin is located in central and northwestern Wyoming. Approximately 80% of Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is included in the Basin. Elevations in the Basin are variable as the Wind River and Bighorn Mountains funnel water from alpine areas to lower river corridors.

  • Wolf Management Plan for the Wind River Reservation
    Wolf Management Plan for the Wind River Reservation www.firstpeople.us Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes Ft. Washakie and Ethete, WY Shoshone and Arapaho Tribal Fish and Game Department Ethete, WY Assisted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Management Assistance Office Lander, WY April 13, 2007 Wind River Reservation’s Wolf Management Plan Summary ¾ This plan looks neutrally upon wolves and considers them as a wildlife species for which management is needed due to tensions that will arise between the needs of wolves and the needs of people. Traditional views of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes (Tribes) recognize wolves as kin, as helpers, as strong, and as deserving of respect and placed here by the Creator for a purpose. ¾ Once approved by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), this plan will guide the Tribes in managing wolves pre-delisting using the Amended 10J Rule of 2005 of the Department of Interior. Wolves “in the act” of attacking livestock and dogs could be lethally removed without prior written approval by the FWS. Take must be reported and evidence of the attack must be present. On a case-by-case basis, options to handle depredating wolves include but are not limited to: no action, non-lethal methods, radio-collaring and releasing, and immediate removal by lethal means. ¾ Once delisted, wolves will be managed solely by the Tribes as a game animal for which hunters and trappers would need to purchase a tag and report harvest to the Tribal Fish and Game (TFG) and the FWS’s Lander Management Assistance Office (LMAO).
